Short poem👄

Floyd Henderson is, by his own admission, 'halved.' After 45 years of marriage, his beloved Marjorie is gone, taken too soon by cancer. With a torrential rain matching the storm of his grief, a dazed Floyd is forced to carry out the next step of their meticulously planned retirement: moving from their cherished countryside farmhouse to a city apartment they had chosen together. Leaving behind the world they built, Floyd struggles to find his footing in a singular life he never wanted. Wallowing in a fog of bourbon and emotional firestorms, he is determined to disappear amidst his desolate landscape of moving boxes. His only attempt to fill the void is Charlie, a sophisticated kit-built companion. As Floyd throws himself into the project of construction, Charlie quickly becomes his closest confidant-a quirky, stable presence to anchor him during his overwhelming grief. From the relentlessly cheerful superintendent and the watchful security guard, to his volatile neighbour Richard-an aspiring writer who expresses his frustration by routinely hurling his vintage typewriter into the communal backyard-Floyd is surrounded by a community that refuses to let him disappear. Floyd In Pieces is a powerful, witty, and moving novel of profound loss, a stubborn man's struggle for independence, and the awkward, messy, and unexpectedly hopeful truth that even when your world is shattered, sometimes the pieces-and the companions you build along the way-find a way to fit together again.

Three hours before the Chief of Hill Side arrives on Wallace Street, Derrick Jones is arrested for the murder of Paul Katore. He is discovered in a compromising position beside the body, hands stained, weapon nearby, and no one else in sight. Every piece of evidence points directly to him, too perfectly, as though someone wanted the police to find him there. Desperate and cornered, Derrick immediately enlists the help of his two closest allies: Charles Penton, his level-headed best friend and a meticulous architect known for noticing details everyone else overlooks. Alicia Michaels, his sharp-witted neighbor and a determined detective with a reputation for solving the impossible. Together, the three have only three hours to untangle the truth before the Chief arrives ,because once he does, Derrick will be transferred, tried, and likely convicted within days. But this isn't just a murder. It's a puzzle deliberately constructed. Paul Katore was the most despised man in Hill Side. Everyone hated him. Everyone wanted him dead. Which means the suspect pool is endless, and the real killer is hiding behind the chaos, counting on Derrick being the perfect scapegoat. As Charles deciphers the layout of the crime scene like a blueprint, and Alicia digs into Katore's enemies and hidden dealings, they begin to uncover a pattern. And with the clock ticking down, the truth may be more shocking and dangerous than any of them imagined.
